Let
us define what we mean by “his [dangerous] chaos”: his malignant narcissism, his moral relativism,
his white nationalism, his perfidious nationalism, his hateful racism, his infectious nihilism, his
outrageous iconoclasm, his ruthless competition, his constitutional ignorance, his puerile dereliction, his embarrassing idiocy, his
provocative transgressions, his mocking disrespect, his impetuous vulgarity,
his belligerent bullying, his pathological lying, his obsessive vindictiveness,
his hypocritical cowardice, his compulsive xenophobia, his callous misogyny, his
lawless demagoguery, his insufferable bigotry, his disgusting buffoonery, his droning voice, his repulsive
face…
A writer must “know and have an ever-present consciousness that this world is a world of fools and rogues… tormented with envy, consumed with vanity; selfish, false, cruel, cursed with illusions… He should free himself of all doctrines, theories, etiquettes, politics…” —Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). “The nobility of the writer's occupation lies in resisting oppression, thus in accepting isolation” —Albert Camus (1913-1960). “What are you gonna do” —Bertha Brown (1895-1987).

I recall seeing David Axelrod over a year ago on one of the cable news panels and he said at that time "I don't think the country can take much more of this"referring to our first exposure to trump and his insane antics.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
A year later aren't we all worn down to a nubbin? He is a vile monster and I only hope tomorrow night we will begin to see the end of him.
Love It! Thanks, Glen! Good things are about to happen!
ReplyDeleteHis brilliantly enacted con-man-mania
ReplyDeleteHis distractions via created and actual crises
His TV Reality Show characterization of an actual president
His sincere distortions of alternative facts
His mere disdain of men, women and children in need
His total indifference to the suffering of others
His inhumane behavior to the humane
His ability to fool some of the people all if the time
His recipe for the Kool Aid voraciously consumed by his true believers
His willingness to see the world destroyed rather than lose face
His total awareness and glee in harming others for fun and profit
Well stated, Glen.
